Abstract

We study the magnetization for the classical antiferromagnetic Ising model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice using the tensor renormalization-group approach. With this method, one can probe large spin systems with little finite-size effect. For a range of temperature and coupling constant, a single magnetization plateau at one third of the saturation value is found. We investigate the dependence of the plateau width on temperature and on the strength of magnetic frustration. Furthermore, the spin configuration of the plateau state at zero temperature is determined.

Magnetic properties of the spin- 12 XXZ model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice: Effect of long-range interactions

Takahumi Suzuki, Yusuke Tomita, Naoki Kawashima

We study magnetic properties of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Ising-like XXZ model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattices with long-range interactions, using the quantum Monte Carlo method. This model shows magnetization plateau phases at one-half and one-third of the saturation magnetization when additional couplings are considered. We investigate the finite temperature transition to one-half and one-third plateau phases. The obtained results suggest that the former case is of the first order and the latter case is of the second order. We also find that the system undergoes two successive transitions with the two-dimensional Ising model universality although there is a single phase transition in the Ising limit case. Finally, we estimate the coupling ratio to explain the magnetization process observed in ${\text{TmB}}_{4}$.

Magnetic properties of S=l/2 antiferromagnetic XXZ model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattices

Takafumi J. Suzuki, Yusuke Tomita, Naoki Kawashima

We study magnetic properties of the S=l/2 Ising-like XXZ model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattices considering the effect of long range interactions. By performing quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we find that magnetization plateau phases appear at one-half and one-third of the saturation magnetization. We also study the finite temperature transition to the magnetic plateau phases and discuss the universality class of the transition.

Magnetic properties of the quantum Shastry–Sutherland model with spin S = 1/2

Victor V. Slavin, A. A. Krivchikov

Magnetization dependence on the external magnetic field was studied in a system with the Shastry–Sutherland lattice using exact diagonalization method at zero temperature within the xxz-model with spin S = 1/2. It was found that contrary to the classical Heisenberg model, the magnetization plateaus corresponding to m* = m/msat = 1/4, 1/3, and 1/2 (here msat is the saturation magnetization) exist even in the case of isotropic exchange interactions. The effect of exchange interaction on the width of the plateaus was studied. It was shown that depending on the ratio of exchange constants, there exist three regions corresponding to different types of the behavior of the system: the regions of a Neel-like antiferromagnet, a “dimer” antiferromagnet, and an intermediate region where the unique properties of Shastry–Sutherland lattices are most pronounced. The boundaries of these regions were also determined.

Exact ground states of a spin- 12 Ising-Heisenberg model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice in a magnetic field

Exact ground states of a spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice with Heisenberg intradimer and Ising interdimer couplings are found by two independent rigorous procedures. The first method uses a unitary transformation to establish a mapping correspondence with an effective classical spin model, while the second method relies on the derivation of an effective hard-core boson model by continuous unitary transformations. Both methods lead to equivalent effective Hamiltonians providing a convincing proof that the spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice exhibits a zero-temperature magnetization curve with just two intermediate plateaus at one-third and one-half of the saturation magnetization, which correspond to stripe and checkerboard orderings of singlets and polarized triplets, respectively. The nature of the remarkable stripe order relevant to the one-third plateau is thoroughly investigated with the help of the corresponding exact eigenvector. The rigorous results for the spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice are compared with the analogous results for the purely classical Ising and fully quantum Heisenberg models. Finally, we discuss to what extent the critical fields of ${\mathrm{SrCu}}_{2}{(\mathrm{BO}}_{3}){}_{2}$ and ${(\mathrm{CuCl})\mathrm{Ca}}_{2}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{10}$ can be described within the suggested Ising-Heisenberg model.

Phases and magnetization process of an anisotropic Shastry-Sutherland model

Zi Yang Meng, Stefan Weßel

We examine ground-state properties of the spin-1/2 easy-axis Heisenberg model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice with ferromagnetic transverse spin exchange using quantum Monte Carlo and degenerate perturbation theory. For vanishing transverse exchange, the model reduces to an antiferromagnetic Ising model that, besides N\'eel order, harbors regions of extensive ground-state degeneracy. In the quantum regime, we find a dimerized phase of triplet states separated from the N\'eel ordered phase by a superfluid. The quantum phase transitions between these phases are characterized. The magnetization process shows a magnetization plateau at 1/3 of the saturation value, which persists down to the Ising limit, and a further plateau at 1/2 only in the quantum regime. For both plateaus, we determine the crystalline patterns of the localized triplet excitations. No further plateaus or supersolid phases are found in this model.
